Best Alibis Poems
Autumn’s cool breeze is over, girl
The leaves have danced their last
Memories of you drip out the edges
Of swollen eyes tied to our past
This chapter will never be read aloud
I doubt that others will ever know
We’d moved beyond the simple surface
You were so close to touching my soul
We never made it to being a couple
But we were quickly more than friends
The infatuation of those October skies
Looks quite different now in Winter’s lens
Those scribbles of yours.. once poetry
Love songs that ran along Fall’s breeze
I thought you were melting into my blues
Then I saw another you sought to please
You giggled and you sighed
Looked at him with wanton eyes
And the snow dropped from the skies
Until it covered all your alibis
True love is not a captor’s contest
Intimacy to one heart, never a crowd
Those sweet nothings I wanted for me
You voiced to many.. yes you wowed
I saw you whisper to one a love song
Then to others.. just a friendly kiss
You teased them all with your sexy lines
Love had me blind how could i miss...
You giggled and you sighed
Looked at him with wanton eyes
And the snow dropped from the skies
Until it covered all your alibis
Winter covered your alibis
Winter covered your alibis
Winter covered your alibis
~Lyric Man
Note: I wanted to write a deep song about true love and how incredible it is.. and as such, it’s devastating when you think you have love and all you have is a memory (and a painful one at that). True love is intimacy to one person. Love can cool faster than coming Winter when you learn your singleness of heart and mind have not been reciprocated!
Beauty cries in love's demise, when you make your alibis.
All my sadness fills my eyes, when you make your alibis.
Caring thoughts your voice implies, but the words are only lies
still you sing sweet lullabies, when you make your alibis.
Broken hearts will soon arise, different song but same reprise,
though your stories you'll revise, when you make your alibis.
Warm emotions, no goodbyes, loving feelings life denies,
hate within beguiling guise, when you make your alibis.
In your soul your heart implies, tenderness, I realize,
willingly you still chastise, when you make your alibis.
With grim desire R.J. sighs, as hope is lost, still he tries,
Within his heart each dream dies, when you make your alibis.

I kept drinking in the words from your lips
Over and over again I kept taking sips
Your utterances I gobbled up and ate every crumb
The taste was so sweet I licked my fingers and thumb
For your words I had a voracious appetite
I was gluttonous for what you had to recite
What you verbalized never satisfied my hunger and thirst
To me it didn't matter if they had all been rehearsed
I was unconcerned that what you spoke were alibis
I couldn't get enough of your sweet little lies

His friendship was the one I held dear.
He said he was the one I never had to fear.
The two years we were together before we were wed,
Were not so bad, truth be said.
Then one day out of the blue,
He was no longer the man I knew!
Our nights and days of wedded bliss,
Soon turned into hatred and a distained abyss.
His anger and cruel, nasty rage
Kept me wrapped in a fearful cage.
Each day and night kept me wrapped tight.
Fear of anything done or said, would soon end in a fight!
Too many stories and ruses,
To cover the many black eyes and numerous bruises.
I grew tired of telling so many lies,
To cover for all your abuses and give you your alibis.
I will no longer cover for you!
I am tired of being black and blue!
So many nights of terror and confusion.
Once what was love is now just an illusion.
So many many sins and uncare
Will never be forgotten! How unfair!
Now that love and friendship is lost.
It went from me at a great cost.
After numerous times of him landing in jail,
I have decided it is time for me to bail!
An act, I know, that just seems so unfair,
but right now I just don't care.
My sanity was at stake.
So for it how could I forsake?
Now a new love has entered my life.
Eradicating all that angst and strife.
Each day is precious and new,
There are still days that I am oh so blue.
Who knows where this new love will go?
Who's to say? I do not know.
For now, will take it one day at a time.
Who knew in a friend a lover I would find.
alibis are for the guilty ones
those who take too long to think
for they are liars and frauds
truth tellers do not have to pause
or hesitate
for the truth comes out easily
they do not have to worry about alibis either
unless they are also murderers or thieves
Bring your alibis on board
Your defense is death
And your life is limber
Time terminates your time here
As the earth swallows you up
In your shallow grave
I’m digging for dirt
To place over your concocted coffin
I scored my life story;
Read it in a book;
All those stories and lies;
People purposed alibis;
